Treating water quality problems in the Municipality of G. Karaiskakis

Water is a public good, a natural and biological element, a unique and distinctive natural resource. Local communities have to play a significant role in the conservation and development of this natural resource, while considering the challenge faced, not only as an obligation but as an entitlement, as well. In this paper it is tried to give prominence to the importance of water for the man himself. In a region where overabundance in spring waters, due to increased rainfall and water basins has been observed, it is unacceptable for the drinking water to be of dubious quality and to be considered as a peril for the public health. Thus, a chlorination system has been proposed and priced for the community of Astrochori, which is going to lead the rest of the regions by example.
